AI Pilot

Use when writing production code that needs tests -- new features, bug fixes, refactoring. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR before implementation.

Use when researching documentation, best practices, or complex technical investigations -- Context7 + Exa + Sequential Thinking methodology.

Use before a root-cause, done/verified claim, irreversible action, or 2nd-time fix reaches the owner (APEX or plain conversation); also fires at every eLicit/Verify gate. Not for code correctness (use sniper).

Use when converting existing code to modular architecture (Laravel, Next.js, React). Triggers: "modularize", "convert to modules", "migrate to modular", "restructure modules".

Summarize current pull request with diff, comments, and changed files. Use when reviewing PRs or before merging.

Use when an expert agent self-reviews and self-corrects code after the Execute phase, before sniper validation (BMAD-METHOD elicitation techniques).

Use when exploring an unfamiliar codebase -- architecture analysis, pattern detection, dependency mapping, rapid discovery.

Use when validating code quality after modifications -- SOLID compliance, DRY duplication, linter errors, architecture violations. Do NOT use for functional verification (run verification FIRST, then code-quality).

Use when validating code quality after modifications. Runs sniper agent in isolated forked context for clean, fast validation.

Use when marking a task complete, finishing a feature, or claiming a bug fixed -- verifies functional resolution before closing. Do NOT use for lint/quality checks (use sniper AFTER this).

Use when creating expert agents. Generates agent.md with frontmatter, hooks, required sections, and skill references.

Use when creating a feature/component or adding functionality. Fires BEFORE APEX Analyze to refine requirements via structured questioning.

Use when creating new skills, restructuring existing skills, or improving skill documentation.

Use when analyzing multiple files, auditing a codebase, scanning dependencies, or counting lines -- one Bash pipeline beats N sequential Read calls.

Use when starting ANY development task -- feature, bug fix, refactor, hotfix (triggers: implement, create, build, fix, add feature, refactor, develop).

Use when about to call any mcp__fuse-browser__* tool. Routes fetch/crawl/SERP vs live browser session vs screenshot capture, and enforces the 4 ZERO-TOLERANCE rules -- read BEFORE the tool call.

Use when auditing React or Next.js components for unnecessary or unsafe useEffect usage -- detects 9 anti-patterns from "You Might Not Need an Effect".
